As a certain POTUS learned back in the 1970s, it's not always the act that dooms you, it's the coverup.
If it indeed was an accidental or inadvertent shootdown, Iran would be well served to come clean as soon as they can verify what happened, apologize (along the obligatory effort to shift the blame to 'The Great Satan'), and pay out some reparations. Because the truth will come out - too much evidence is out there - and denying it just makes you look worse.
